News of Interest for Investors and Seniors

More than 65% of the clients we represent are 60 years of age or older. Over the years that we have been representing customers of securities, commodities and precious metals firms, this percentage has increased as the population of the U.S. has aged. This is especially true in the State of Florida, which has been a mecca for senior citizens and a magnet for fraudsters.

For this reason, we have created a special section, on our website, which contains news that we believe will be of interest for senior investors. These posts will not only deal with specific investments relating to seniors, but also such things as how to recognize fraud, how to avoid fraudulent scams, and how to identify elder abuse.

At
Russell L. Forkey, P.A., our Florida legal team understands the devastating consequences, both financially and emotionally, of elder abuse that senior citizens may experience. Unfortunately, many brokers and other financial professionals often place their economic interest above that of their clients. This can be evidenced by such things as recommending inappropriate investments, such as the purchase or switching of annuities, unsuitable investments or investment strategies just for the commission. We dedicate substantial time, talent and resources to helping clients pursue financial recovery for investment fraud, broker misconduct and other violations.

Our legal team is directed by lawyer Russell L. Forkey, who has focused more than 30 years of his career on securities and commodities arbitration and litigation. His extensive experience and knowledge of not only the law, but also of investment vehicles and strategies, enable him to evaluate your situation and recommend to you what he believes to be your best course of action.
